Make sure you find a lawyer who communicates with you, is proactive not retroactive, and is knowledgeable in bankruptcy law.
When you file a personal bankruptcy, it will either be a chapter 7 or chapter 13. Meaning, your discharge will be about 90 days or three to five years. You want a lawyer in either of these time frames who can guide you throughout the process and will work with you each step of the bankruptcy case.
When you file a bankruptcy, you want a lawyer who is proactive. This means look for an attorney who sees potential issues upfront and can guide you and prepare you for risks or situations, before they happen. What you want to avoid is a lawyer who doesn’t advise you or let you know of certain risks and you are caught off guard after filing.
Finally, when you file bankruptcy you want an attorney who is knowledgeable about bankruptcy law. Bankruptcy law is nuanced and can have a lot of moving parts. If you file with an attorney who isn’t knowledgeable in bankruptcy law, it could potentially cause issues down the road.
